The U.S. Department of Education on Monday recognized 356 schools as the 2024 cohort of the National Blue Ribbon Schools, including seven schools in Minnesota. This prestigious recognition highlights schools that excel in academic performance or make significant strides in closing achievement gaps among different student groups.
Among the Minnesota schools named as National Blue Ribbon Schools was Hills-Beaver Creek Secondary School in Hills.
The 2024 National Blue Ribbon Schools reflect the full diversity of American education and serve students from all backgrounds. National Blue Ribbon Schools are led by leaders who articulate a clear vision of instructional excellence and uphold high standards. Collaboration among families, communities and educators is a key component of their success.
The department recognizes all schools based on student performance data including assessment results, student subgroup performance and graduation rates. Schools are recognized in both or either of two performance categories: exemplary high performing school: or exemplary achievement gap closing schools.
